I've got the intermediate (F) version in my bag - it's the prime for when I want AF (other times I'll use the A 50mm/f1.4). It came at the right price - free (together with a SF-1n) from a neighbour (I'd helped him install and set up his DVD player, and he knew I used Pentax, so when he switched to a digital compact he gave me his old film camera.).
